I got a bit fed up of long slow stuff so I have attempted to do some more speedy stuff this week. Not sure how the niggling injuries will hold up to the pounding!
First, I did a killer speed session on the turbo that consisted of lots of short above race pace efforts. Then I ran off the bike with just 2 x 1 mile efforts. Managed sub 6 min miles for these.
Today I did 30 miles bike aiming to maintain at least a 20 mph average. I managed 22mph avetage. Not that fast but with warm up and junctions etc it was not that easy. Off the bike the aim was 5 mile run averaging at least 7 min miling. Managed 6:35 miling but the legs were struggling. The good news is that when I feel ok breathing but the legs are sore it normally means some form is on the way. Just need to stay healthy!
